About
An informational read-only screen with definition of SEF:
The Spectral Edge Frequency (SEF) identifies the frequency below which 95% of the total power
of the patient’s EEG is located. SEF is a common EEG power signal processed parameter
represented on the DSA display’s 0-30 Hz scale. 95% SEF power is displayed as a white
horizontal line and as a value for both left and right frontal-prefrontal hemispheres of the
brain. EF values display the predominant EEG frequency and corresponding changes.
